    How come the prevailing minhag is not to follow the recommended ages for Talmud Torah that’s given in Pirkei Avos? Pirkei Avos suggests to start learning Chumash at 5, Mishnah at 10, and Gemara at 15, why don’t most yeshivos follow these suggestions?

    Because we’re much dumber and more distracted nowadays. Different times.

    How refreshing!I was expecting a whole sob story on ISSUES,ISSUES,

    ISSUES.

    Btw in E.Y. the Zilberman system follows roughly the ages described in the Mishna.An attempt was made in Lakewood and I’m not updated on how it went.

    It can work in a society like in Bnei brak or meiah shearim. Wouldn’t work with kids brought up with ipods ipads, barney…and other shtusiim.
